Meet Seattle Neck and Back Pain Clinic
Individualized Chiropractic Care for the Kent Community
Seattle Neck and Back Pain Clinic follows an open-door philosophy: everyone who walks in is welcomed, listened to, and treated as an individual. That approach guides the way we care for patients looking for a chiropractor in Kent, WA.
Our team looks beyond a single symptom to understand what is affecting your comfort, movement, and daily life before recommending treatment.
Dr. Nazariy Stetsyuk, DC
Why This Work Is Personal
Today, the clinic is led by Dr. Nazariy Stetsyuk, DC, who chose this profession after receiving chiropractic treatment following each of his four car accidents. Having been a patient himself, he understands the recovery process and the questions that often come with it.
Care in English, Ukrainian, and Russian
Our entire team speaks English, Ukrainian, and Russian, so many local families can discuss their concerns in the language they feel most comfortable using. Beyond the office, we host events throughout the year, including our annual Patient Appreciation Day.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide high-quality chiropractic care through an individualized approach to every patient. We are committed to helping each person recover, restore function, and work toward better overall health.
Car Accident Recovery
After a collision, you may be dealing with symptoms in more than one area while also trying to sort out paperwork and next steps. Your plan can bring together chiropractic care, massage, exercise, and laser when appropriate.
We work directly with auto insurance, and PIP representatives can help verify benefits and explain coverage and the claims process.
Class IV Laser
Class IV laser uses specific wavelengths of light that interact with tissue. It may be considered when pain, swelling, muscle spasms, or reduced function are part of a recent or longer-lasting condition. Dr. Stetsyuk also uses dedicated laser protocols for whiplash and disc injuries.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Injuries can leave soft tissue tight or restricted even as other symptoms improve. With the Graston Technique®, stainless steel instruments glide along the skin to find scar tissue and fascial restrictions. This work may be combined with therapeutic exercise to support movement and function as the area recovers.
OUR SERVICES

Some patients come to us with one area that hurts. Others are dealing with pain, stiffness, and limited movement all at once. Our services are organized into four areas, allowing us to consider the approaches that fit what we find.
PAIN & MOBILITY CARE
Learn More
Pain Control Clinic
Pain in the spine or joints can change the way you sit, sleep, drive, and lift. Our Pain Control Clinic brings together adjustments, spinal decompression, Class IV laser, and treatment for joints throughout the body.
Chiropractic care focuses on how the spine and joints move
and how that movement affects the rest of your body.
Adjustments are paired with stretching, exercise, and
everyday habits, and the benefits of chiropractic care are
tracked against measurements taken at your first exam.
When pressure on the discs or nerves keeps pain from settling,
gentle decompression may be considered. Discomfort in the
shoulders, wrists, hips, knees, or ankles is examined with
the same attention we give your neck and back.
MUSCLE & TISSUE CARE
Learn More
Massage Therapist
Tight, overworked muscles can limit how freely your joints move. Our massage therapists work on muscles, tendons, and connective tissue to ease tension and support more comfortable movement alongside the rest of your plan.
Tender knots in the neck, shoulders, and back can send
discomfort to other areas, including the head. Focused
pressure on these spots may help the muscle relax so you
can move with less restriction.
Stiffness can remain in certain areas even after pain begins
to ease. The Graston Technique® uses specialized instruments
to locate and work through them, which may make stretching
and everyday movement feel more comfortable.
RECOVERY & STRENGTH
Learn More
Rehabilitation Center
Getting out of pain is only one part of returning to work, driving, exercise, or everyday responsibilities after an injury. Our Rehabilitation Center focuses on rebuilding strength, stability, and movement after car accidents, workplace incidents, falls, and other setbacks.
A collision and a work injury place very different demands
on the body. Chiropractic care after an accident starts
with a thorough evaluation, even when symptoms seem mild,
and your plan considers how the injury happened and what
you need to return to.
Exercises are chosen around the movements your job and daily
life demand, whether that means lifting in a warehouse or
sitting through long shifts. The goal is to make
rehabilitation relevant to what you actually need to do
outside the clinic.
ONGOING WELLNESS
Learn More
Wellness Center
Wellness care is about keeping the progress you have made and noticing small problems before they grow. This area of the clinic covers imaging, posture, nutritional support, and ongoing visits for patients who want to stay active.
When your exam calls for it, on-site X-rays help us see the
structures behind your symptoms. Reviewing the images with
you makes it easier to understand what is happening and why
a particular approach is recommended.
Desk work, long commutes, and physical jobs all leave their
mark on posture. We suggest changes to your workstation and
daily habits, discuss nutritional supplements when relevant,
and schedule periodic visits if you want ongoing support.

CONDITIONS
Conditions We Treat Most Often in Kent
Pain can follow you through the whole day: at work, behind the wheel, during exercise, and even in bed at night. These are some of the concerns that bring patients to us, whether they started with an accident or built up slowly.
Whiplash can follow a rear-end collision or other sudden impact and may leave you with neck pain, stiffness, headaches, or limited motion. Because symptoms can develop over the days after a crash, an early exam can help assess the injury, with X-rays used when needed to look for fractures or other structural concerns.
Back pain can develop after a strain or injury, come from posture and everyday demands, or be related to conditions such as arthritis or spinal stenosis. We look at which movements aggravate it and may combine adjustments, soft tissue care, exercise, and practical guidance for work and daily activities.
Neck pain can make simple movements, such as turning your head while driving or looking at a screen, feel restricted. Muscle strain, posture, and earlier injuries can all play a role, and some patients also notice headaches. Checking how each joint and muscle moves shows us where to start.
Discs act as cushions between the vertebrae. A disc can bulge or herniate after an injury or with degenerative changes, sometimes irritating nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg. Care may include specific laser protocols we use for disc problems, based on your symptoms and exam.
why choose us
Why Patients Choose Seattle Neck and Back
Good care starts with understanding more than where it hurts. Many people look for a chiropractor in Kent, WA, after trying rest, medication, or stretches that only helped for a while. Our approach is built around what they often felt was missing: time to be heard, clear explanations, and progress they can actually see.
Treatment Shaped by Your Injury and Goals
A car crash, a lifting injury at work, and long hours at a computer can affect the body in different ways. We consider the specific injuries, symptoms, physical limits, and recovery goals involved, then recheck measurements as you improve.
Multiple Approaches, One Coordinated Plan
Adjustments may be one part of the plan. Depending on your needs, care can also include massage therapy, therapeutic exercise, Graston Technique®, and Class IV laser, allowing different services to support the same treatment goals.
Support Beyond the Treatment Room
Recovering from an accident often comes with forms, claims, and questions about coverage. We keep detailed clinical records, communicate with attorneys and other healthcare providers when appropriate, and help you understand each step as your case moves forward.
A Team That Listens and Explains
Many patients have felt rushed or unheard at past appointments. We take time to understand how pain is affecting daily life, explain what we find during the evaluation, and answer questions about the care being recommended.
